With Rawlings' Power Balance Products, You'll Have the Power

In the name of high performance, Rawlings has added Power Balance technology to its batting gloves, chest protectors and shirts.

Originally introduced in April in a wristband, Power Balance technology uses a hologram that interacts with your body’s natural energy field to improve your balance, strength and flexibility.

Rawlings' products with Power Balance are:

• Batting Gloves (model number BGPPWRB). These batting gloves have a durable leather palm, a mesh back that forms to your hand and a neoprene hand cuff for comfort. They are available in adult sizes in black.

• 950X Chest Protector (model number CP950X). The 950X chest protector also has Rawlings' new PORON XRD technology that provides the best ball control and an aggressive new three-dimensional style. The 950X chest protector can be customized and is available in adult (17”), intermediate (16”) and youth (15”) sizes.

• Performance Shirt (model number PBPS). The performance shirt has a contoured fit and side and back mesh material for breathability. The Power Balance hologram is sown in on the shoulder. It is available in black, dark green, maroon, navy blue, royal blue or scarlet.

• Performance Wristband (model number PBWRIST). The performance wristband is available in a variety of sizes and in black, royal blue, navy blue or scarlet.

Rawlings' Catcher's Mitt Come with 1-Piece Closed Web

If you're shopping for a new Rawlings' catcher's mitt for baseball, you'll find it's built with a 1-Piece Closed web.

The closed web makes the glove stronger and more durable and is designed to help the catcher block the ball and make a quick transfer to his throwing hand.

The catcher's mitts at RawlingsGear.com get top reviews for their utility.

Garza713289 wrote an online review of his Heart of the Hide 34 inch catcher's mitt (model number PROSCM41B): "This mitt is good for picking balls in the dirt and makes it easy to receive pitches. The break-in process is a little lengthy, but i like how the inside of the glove molds to the shape of your hand."

Other catchers have noted the quick break-in time on their mitts.

Hillcow of Bowling Green, Ky., wrote a review of his Gold Glove Legend 34 inch catcher’s mitt (model number GGCM41L): "I've been waiting for Rawlings to make a 34" Gold Glove catcher's mitt for a long time. The leather is soft but looks and feels like high quality. I was able to close it easily right out of the box."

Left-handed catchers have raved about their mitts too.

NickMo wrote a review of his Gold Glove 32.5 inch catcher's left handed mitt (model number GGCMB-RH): "I purchased this glove a couple years ago and I absolutely loved it from the start. It is a good weight for a catcher and is great for throwing runners out, as you can get the ball out of this glove very fast.”
